a different teapot

Looking for a teapot challenge??

I have just returned from Thailand where I saw a most unique teapot in
a museum ( so it has been done before and no credits for originality ). It is
designed for serving cold drinks like wine and requires more skills at
throwing than I can muster.

The pot has no lid. If you turn it over the bottom has a hole in it
that is really a tube that extends into the pot almost to the top ... kind of
like those salt shakers we were all discussing a while ago.

You fill the pot from the bottom and when you turn it over the wine
stays in. You can chill the pot beforehand to keep the wine cool at the
table. I thought this was the neatest thing I'd seen in a while ... the
museum was not that well documented so I don't know if it was Thai or
Chinese.

mentally and I am using jet lag as an excuse for everything just as long as I
can.

"Can you draw us a picture of the pot?"

Lee -

I do not know how to draw very well with letters. The top of the pot
was rounded and high. This may have something to do with the air needed to
make sure it pours right. The rest of the pot looked just like a regular
teapot but the bottom is the difference. Here is a shot at it.
